With the Wind 1905

"With the Wind," created in 1905 by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, is a circular composition featuring a couple seemingly floating in the air. Surrounded by swirling, abstract shapes, the couple's faces are turned towards each other, suggesting a moment of intimacy and unity amidst the swirling motion. Burne-Jones's use of soft, ethereal colors, predominantly shades of blue and gold, contributes to the dreamlike quality of the work. This drawing is a testament to the artist's exploration of symbolism and the human condition within the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
